I hired John the Plumber (Eric) to do a complete plumbing rebuild of the basement bathroom (+4 feet of water) after the Canada Day flood. He explained clearly what needed to be done. When Phase 1 began he showed up with student / apprentice /helper (Reza). They worked together like a plumbers symphony. They completed Phase 1 in a timely and professional manner. After doing so they explained clearly what had been done and iterated what would occur when they will return for Phase 2. I have complete confidence that they will complete Phase 2 and 3 in the same professional manner they did in Phase 1.Posted on Google![]()
